Description

Begin your journey with a tranquil cruise through a narrow canal, gradually opening up into the breathtaking expanse of Lake Skadar. As the boat glides over the calm waters, sail next to the historic Lesendro Fortress, a once-strategic stronghold perched on a small island. With its timeless stone walls and sweeping lake views, it's a striking introduction to the region’s rich past. Continue on, passing beneath a bridge, revealing charming traditional fishermen’s houses nestled along the shoreline a picturesque glimpse into the simple, authentic life of the locals. From here, head deeper into the untouched heart of the lake, weaving through a series of narrow, winding canals. These waters are framed by lush vegetation and fields of blooming lotus flowers, creating a peaceful and almost otherworldly atmosphere. This part of the tour offers perfect opportunities for photography and quiet reflection as nature envelops you on all sides. In the distance, perched on their own secluded islets, catch sight of the Kom Monastery and the Church of St. George - two spiritual landmarks that stand as silent witnesses to centuries of history and tradition. The boat then gently circles several of small, scenic islands before beginning its slow return to Virpazar, allowing you to soak in the final moments of this immersive experience.
